Jobs
The BRES is a sample survey of employers collecting employment information from businesses across the whole of the UK economy for each site that they operate. The data is broken down by full/part-time, public/private sector and by industry and is available from a national level down to sub-county areas (Lower Super Output areas – LSOAs – in England).
The BRES provides a picture of employment availability and structure, (jobs), within the county and communities within it. Over time it shows how this employment has changed in response to a changing economy and industrial base.
